The Board denied service connection for a disability manifested by frequent urination, finding that the evidence did not support the existence of such a disability during or approximate to the pendency of the claim.
The deciding factor: The February 2015 and January 2020 VA examiners found no current diagnosis of a condition related to frequent urination, and the Veteran's VA treatment records did not reflect any complaints or diagnoses of urinary issues during the appeal period.
